Hi there, ty for your post. I to have the same exact fears, I thought I was insane not to mention that my friends and family have no clue how terrifying and real these fears are. I sleep on my couch most nights. (About 3 hrs of sleep a night) and need a nap during the day. Thank you for sharing your experience, strengths and hopes to overcoming and moving on with your life to something so debilitating.
Reasons? by: Anonymous
Hi, I'm a Psychololgy student. I was wondering if you could infer the reason(s) as to why you have the fear of driving. I'm not sure if you and your therapist have already discussed this, but my curiousity was peaked by your story. Thank you in advance.

Hi Janelle, Thank you for your post...and here I thought I was the only one who has felt this way. These are the two exact phobias that I have. I have so many sleepless nights (as its 1:15am AZ time) and I absolutely refuse to be a passenger in and vehicle. This overwhelming paralyzing fear takes over. Whenever I tried to explain both phobias to anyone, they would look at me like I was insane, so for many years I've hidden these and have kept them to myself. Abviously it just makes matters worse and I can usually sleep for a few hrs at night when I'm able to fall asleep and take a nap in the afternoon but its been years since I've had an 8 hour restful sleep. If you have anymore insite on where I should go for help with this please reply back. Thank you
